clean OS X install before selling hard drive

[HiFiGuy528]

I am selling my old 320GB HD on CL. I was wondering if I do a clean OS X install on it, will I be able to just pop it into the buyer's MacBook and have it running straight away? Will there be problems with my copy of OS X?

Of course, you are selling the disc with the hard drive because otherwise that would be a licensing agreement violation.

Yes, you can clean-install OS X onto a HD and then pop it into another Mac. I would recommend doing a disk erase, however, to remove any sensitive bits you don't want to share.

I don't plan to sell the disc. I can't use it again on my HD?

You can but you will still be breaking the licensing agreement.
